Hi there!
I'm on a flight back to Minneapolis from Tampa, Florida so I think this will be a short post. I was in Florida for my sister Emily's 40th birthday celebration. I come from a relatively big family; I have 4 sisters- yep, FIVE girls in the family!
The oldest sister celebrated her 40th in NYC (read about that trip here), then Erin (with whom I just ran the Brookings marathon) with Continue Reading

Happy Sunday! I'm here with a short recap of the week before the Brookings Marathon, which I ran with my sister yesterday. (Dustin ran it too- his 4th marathon in 5 months!)
I'll be back later this week with a full recap of the race!
Monday: Track Monday! 3 mile warm-up to get to the track, then 1x800m with 400m recovery, then 4x200m fast with 200m recovery, 1x800m again, and 2 mile cool-down. 8 Continue Reading

Happy Sunday and welcome to May! I'm so glad spring is in full swing; it's wonderful to run outside without worrying about whether or not the trails will be icy, isn't it?
Here's how training went this past week for the Brookings Marathon that I will be running with my sister (her goal is around 4:20-4:25):
Monday: 6.65 miles with my friend Christie before work, Discover Strength Continue Reading

Happy Sunday! I'm here as normal with my weekly recap of marathon training. If you missed it, be sure to check out my last post about our recent trip to Antarctica HERE.
Here's how training went this past week:
Monday: Marathon Monday in Boston! I got up at the same time as Dustin (who was running the Boston marathon) and worked from the hotel for a bit before heading out for my own run. Continue Reading

I'm back with one last post about our trip to Antarctica!
I have written all about the Antarctica Marathon and the non-Antarctica parts of our trip to Antarctica. And then I shared the first post full of pictures from Antarctica, be sure to check those three posts out if you missed them.
I left off on that last post on March 19th.

Happy Sunday!
I'm in Boston right now, getting ready to cheer for Dustin at the marathon tomorrow. It's shaping up to be a much better day weather-wise than last year! It's so fun to be here without the nerves and the stress of racing tomorrow. :) I had my fair share of that in 2017! But seriously, I don't think I have ever travelled only to spectate/cheer and I think it's going to Continue Reading

This is my blog about finding The Right "Fit." I'm an avid runner, marathon enthusiast, and fitness experimentalist who uses my little space of the internet to share my passion for and experiences with running and fitness (...and a little about fashion.)

I write mostly about running and my quest to run a marathon in every state. But you'll also find some information about different fitness classes in the Twin Cities and more.
